The "issue" of setting up a network on a new install hasn't affected me at all. So, I've not committed to memory the variations depending on the spin. So, this may well be inaccurate. Workstation Live Install - No options to configure the network or hostname. The wired network will be on and functional with DHCP. Best know how to change hostname after the install. KDE Live Install - No optons to configure the network, but you can set a hostname. You can also set password for root and configure a user with a UID and GID of your choice as well as assign the user to the wheel group. Netinstall Everything - You can configure the network fully, including a Wifi connection. Not sure how user creation is taken care of. Haven't done this type of install in a while. Something to do this afternoon? -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
